Food trucks have become a staple in San Diego dining. You can find them on the beach, in parking lots, at schools and even in your local neighborhood. Each truck caters to a specific cuisine and offers the epicurean a whole new taste on curbside eating. We asked the Superdiners to share their favorite mobile caterer and why it drives their taste buds wild.

Joanne Bautista, human resources professional, avid Yelper, avid diner: Philly Soft Pretzel Company truck (858) 552-3000). They set up shop in my neighborhood, so it’s very convenient when I’m driving home from work to pick up a few of their yummy, $1 pretzels with cheese sauce for an additional 50 cents. Best deal in the neighborhood!

Gerald “Dex” Poindexter, marketing director, EAT at The Pearl Hotel (Twitter @SuperdinerDex): Wait, this food truck stuff isn’t over yet? Honestly, I never got into the fad. I don’t do lines and the long lines for most food trucks were stupid. Still, the few times I hit up the Recess truck (eatatrecess.com), I had some good lunch grub. The tater tots with the truffle oil were pretty tasty — almost addictive.

Susan Russo, food writer, cookbook author (Twitter @Susan_Russo): I like Chop Soo-ey (619-929-0167 or truckedupproductions.com) because it offers healthful meals made with high-quality ingredients. Since the menu changes frequently, there’s always something new to try. The last time I ate there, I had a salad of rice noodles, grilled steak, shaved cabbage and mixed veggies with a sesame dressing that was fabulous.

Ricardo Heredia, executive chef at Alchemy Restaurant: Mariscos German (corner of Grape Street and 30th Avenue in the IGA parking lot, San Diego) is my favorite truck for sure. Smoke marlin, shrimp tacos and aguachile are must-tries. Also, the same lot hosts food trucks every Tuesday evening from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. for some of the finest street food around.

Fabrice Poigin, private chef, restaurant consultant: Already looking forward to the World Cup: Brazil on Wheelz (brazilonwheels.com). And if you can catch it at the Green Flash Brewing Company, enjoy the sunset.

Jeff Josenhans, director of beverage outlets and sommelier at U.S. Grant Hotel: I love Ms. Patty Melt (619-929-0167 or truckedupproductions.com) simply because I think that’s what food truck food should be. There are some good Mexican food ones, too, but when I’m on the street eating, I want a well-cooked, dinerlike burger. And their sweet potato fries taste great.
